I can find:-

    $HOME/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/keyboard.xml

which seems to have lots of keyboard settings in it.  However there's
also a file called THESE_FILES_ARE_OBSOLETE.txt which says all of the
files in that directory are obsolete.

There's also:-

    $HOME/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml
    $HOME/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboards.xml

When/how does xfce4 act on these files?
